''DOLLY'' is a monthly teen magazine started in 1970 by Fairfax Ltd. in Australia and New Zealand, and purchased by ACP in 1988. The current editor is Lucy E Cousins. The previous editor was Tiffany Dunk. ''Dolly'' was the basis and inspiration for ''Sassy Magazine'' (1987-1996) in the United States. The magazine is aimed at older teenage girls (13-17 age group) and covers celebrity news and gossip, fashion and beauty and various feature articles attractive to female teenagers and dealing with issues that are faced by this age group and gender. The magazine also has a website containing games, information on upcoming issues, quizzes and downloads. The magazine has now produced over 400 issues and as of 2007 has a readership of 505,000. == Controversy == In 2005, Dolly came into media attention for taking advantage of young people wanting to get into the magazine industry. Dolly was accused of soliciting, publishing and ridiculing unpaid articles from hopeful young women looking for a job in magazine journalism.〔(Mediawatch: The dark side of Dolly (03/10/2005) )〕 In Dolly's May 2007 issue featuring Christina Aguilera on the cover, controversy reigned supreme when a picture of a runway model's genitalia was published on page 24 in a section called Dollywood Gossip. The accompanying caption which included an arrow pointing to the model's genital region said "Look Closer, Eww! Not that close" and "Umm, we think you forgot something".〔(Dolly drops its knickers ), ''Sydney Morning Herald,'' 19 April 2007〕 Editor McCahon claimed that "''It's a long story involving mag terms like "dyelines" and "corrupted PDFs", but we did cover the area originally, and the little spot we used somehow fell off the page just before printing and we didn't notice''".〔(A big ooops! from us ), ''Dolly Magazine,'' 12 April 2007〕 Approximately 50,000 issues were pulled off the shelves from major supermarket chains. Copies were later returned to the newsstands with a sticker covering the model's genitals. As a direct result of this error, newsagents across Australia reported a spike in sales. Although photographs of models and celebrities are often printed in various degrees of exposure, this particular photograph was the most controversial. In an unrelated occasion, McCahon had been quoted saying "Vagina is not a rude or derogatory word and suggesting it should be censored only sends a message that our sexuality is something to be ashamed of". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dolly (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
